![]() In Malayalam, my favourites are Ayyayyo and Malabari Banger. Paint The Town Red by Doja Cat and I Know? by Travis Scott are also on the top list. First Person Shooter by Drake and J Cole is a song I listened to most, at least according to my music app. I don’t limit myself to just one favourite. This year, I have been listening to many genres, from hip-hop and R&B to techno, alternative, indie/pop and more. It’s either the old ones or world music that I get for music apps randomly. For if we create something only according to the trend, how will we evolve new genres and explore new kinds of music? That is why I don’t listen to new Malayalam songs. I ensure that the music I make is something I like instead of going by any trend, which is something that is being done a lot. There are those who love evergreen old songs, there are people who listen to progressive rock, and then there are those who enjoy songs like Adaranjalikal from Romancham. Malayali listening habit is very eclectic. This year, there were a lot of Jordan Rakie. I mostly listen to random songs from all genres. ![]() Kalapakkaara also clinched a space in Malayali hearts with its loud beats. Miley Cyrus’ Flowers was the most streamed track globally, while Maan Meri Jaan by King and Saurabh Lokhande topped in India. Though not present in the Top 10 lists, Malabari Banger and Adaranjikal Nerunnu were definite hits in Kerala. ![]() While Taylor Swift clinched the title of Global Top Artist, Arijit Singh was the top artist in India. Surprisingly, Bollywood and Tamil numbers ruled many listeners’ top song lists. With personalities like Vampire and Alchemist, listeners were on a thrall to find out what their music taste says about them. Just a few days ago, a popular music app released a personalised listening character for each user. But there are also listeners for experimental songs. In my case, the song Kalapakkaara, from King of Kotha. Such songs are ones that eventually become hits. Nowadays, Malayalis like songs with beats that they can dance to. ![]() Since my daughters enjoy K-pop and Taylor Swift, I also listen to them often. I also discovered several Hindi independent bands their songs are very soothing. Then, my kids enjoyed Chaleya by Anirudh (Jawan). It was him going back and connecting with classical elements once again. Personally, I like old-school rock and roll and country musicįor me, this year’s favourite is undoubtedly A R Rahman’s Ponniyin Selvan II album. I think techno has gone too commercial, though the sound varies from its original roots. As a DJ who does a lot of multi-cultural destination weddings, the in-demand songs have been Chaleya from Jawan, Monalisa by Lojay, Sarz & Chris Brown and the hits Rasputin, Kala Chashma & Naatu Naatu. ![]()
